basshunter Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Howdy everyone, I just bought a 2014 Edge SEL and heard Sync was no longer going to be supported. What specifically will not work? Traffic?, Weather?, Alerts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Not Sync, Sync Services. No new subscriptions now and will be stopped on Aug 1st 2018. We want to let you know about this important change to your account. Ford has made the important decision to start phasing out SYNC® Services. Starting July 1st, 2017, the ability to purchase or renew a paid SYNC Services subscription will no longer be available. However, those with an active or complimentary subscription will still be able to use all the features of SYNC Services until their subscription expires or August 1st, 2018, whichever comes first. Regardless of subscription status, SYNC Services will no longer be available starting August 1st, 2018. We'd like to thank you for being a part of the SYNC Services experience that we've brought to Ford customers over the years. Although SYNC Services is being phased out, owners can still take advantage of the many features available through SYNC, such as AppLink® for SYNC and SYNC 3, and other services offered by SiriusXM® Traffic and Travel Link®. If you aren't already aware of these features, click here to see what options are available for your specific vehicle. For additional updates and to manage your subscription, please visit the SYNC Services page on the Owner website. We appreciate you being a member of the Ford family and look forward to continuing to improve your experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gortty-Pilot Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 You can still purchase Sirius Traffic for $3.99 and Sirius Travel Link for $1.99. I pay $6.55 on a monthly basis for both. I've found that to be moderately helpful in the KC area, although not the quickest way to determine traffic during rush hour. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Your confusing Sirus Satallite Radio with Ford "Sync Services". They are two different services. I subcribe to Sirus Travel Link (but use a weather app more than Sirus). Sirus traffic doesn't have any value for rural areas so no good subscribing, for me. When I do need traffic info, I use Google Maps. Real-time info in urban areas (and free). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
